A traffic collision involving two vehicles, a white pickup truck and a semi, occurred today on the eastbound lanes of State Route 60 (SR-60) near North Garfield Avenue in Montebello, CA. The incident was reported around 10:27 AM, coinciding with the busy morning commute, which led to significant traffic disruptions in the area.
Emergency services quickly responded to the scene to manage the situation and direct traffic. The collision resulted in lane blockages, particularly in the slow lane, causing delays and congestion for drivers traveling through this section of the freeway. A tow truck was called to assist with the removal of the vehicles involved, as the pickup truck was positioned in a way that obstructed traffic flow.
As the situation developed, the California Highway Patrol (CHP) was actively involved in controlling the scene and ensuring that traffic was safely diverted away from the affected lanes. Freeway auto resources were also deployed to help manage the traffic impact.
Motorists are advised to expect delays and consider alternative routes while the traffic incident is being addressed. The CHP continues to oversee the situation, working to restore normal traffic conditions on eastbound SR-60 as quickly as possible.
